Gestazione per altri o Maternità surrogata? Una frammentazione antropologica e non solo del femminile
No full textNella vasta letteratura sulla surrogacy le testimonianze più interessanti sul
piano filosofico non sono solo quelle delle donne che non riescono a portare a
termine il servizio dell’outsourcing materno, perché nel corso del processo gestazionale
vanno in crisi e chiedono disperatamente di potersi tenere il bambino
dopo il parto, ma proprio quelle di coloro che invece, almeno a parole, sembrano riuscirci benissimo. Il capitolo indaga l'alternativa tra gestazione per altri e maternità surrogata, così come quella tra dono e mercato, analizzando prima di tutto dal punto di vista descrittivo il fenomeno della surrogacy per poi proporne una valutazione alla luce della fondamentale distinzione tra persone e cose

Weekly hypofractionated radiation therapy in elderly non-resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region
No full textIntroduction: Treatment of inoperable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) of the head and neck region is still debated. Case report: We report an original case of cure of cSCC of the head and neck region with weekly hypofractionated radiation therapy with megavoltage electrons prescribed for locally advanced inoperable disease. Results: Weekly hypofractionated radiotherapy assured complete regression and was well-tolerated. Conclusion: The real efficacy of this treatment in the therapeutic arsenal remains to be defined. A clinical trial is ongoing to test the use of 8 weekly fractions of 8 Gy hypofractionated RT regimens in non-resectable cSCC cases
Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) in recurrent head and neck cancer
No full textntraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) an innovative technique that assures the delivery of radiation immediately after surgical resection and thus directly on tumor bed, without the necessity of excessive radiation protection measures. The clinical data regarding the use of IORT in head and neck cancer are little and a comprehensive and evidence-based analysis of recurrent head and neck cancer is still pending. Despite an aggressive multidisciplinary management, in head and neck cancer it is difficult to achieve long term control and approximately 30% of patients, especially those with locally advanced disease at diagnosis, develop loco-regional failure. Independently of primary location, the vast majority of recurrences occurs at or adjacent to the original tumor sit
Induction chemotherapy in patients with anal canal cancer: a pilot study
No full textPurpose: To investigate the role of induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by definitive chemoradiotherapy in people with anal canal cancer with bulky disease at diagnosis. Patients and Methods: We assessed patient acceptability and treatment feasibility of IC in patients with bulky anal canal malignant lesions. Results: Theoretical IC advantages may include tumor downsizing and early micrometastasis eradication, without affecting compliance with subsequent standard chemoradiotherapy regimens, as a result of improvement of oxygenation and higher intramural concentration of cytotoxic drugs. Conclusion: The study design should be proven feasible, with a satisfactory patient acceptance rate and an optimized work flow. To our knowledge, this study is the first trial to investigate the use of IC in the population of patients with bulky anal canal cancer
Osteoradionecrosis: an old toxicity in the IMRT era?
No full textIntensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has had a rapid growth in treatment strategy, especially for head and neck cancer (HNC), due to its well known conformal dose advantages. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is direct through irradiation of mandible bone and IMRT offers the potential to spare it. As we move into the era of IMRT, is ORN still a real toxicity
